Learning philosophy will provide you with new understandings of business, economics, science, criminology and society.

Our philosophy courses teach you the philosophical frameworks through a wide and varied history, including environmental philosophy, ethics, philosophical psychology, history of ideas and more. 

A philosophy degree isn’t just theory. Working in business, information technology, public office and various other industries demands logical thinking — this is what philosophical studies can teach you.

Use those skills to understand complex problems and find solutions that can make a positive impact on society.
